That seem impossible without cheating!

I wonder if they didn't repeatedly inject it with sugar water to force the
rind to stretch out to accommodate the added weight/pressure. Like force-
feeding animals/rats?

A 700 lb. watermelon just ain't natural!

It's 139.6 kiligrams, which equals to circa 310 lbs.
Anyway, I think they are growing a strain from the US, seeing the weight of
the world records is is clear something happened there over the pond,
expecially in the South like in Tennessee. BTW, in this watermelon area near
here the vast majority of the production are nowadays "crimson" watermelons.

ViLco,

Oops. Sorry about the faulty weight conversion. I obviously error ed the
value of kilograms. Thanks for the correction.

It's certainly a champion!

I'm not familiar with "crimson" or any other watermelon by name. All I
know is either seeded or seedless.

Best,

Andy

jBurns,

Right.

I goofed.

Larger still using the stated 139.6 kg number.

Best,

Andy

Crimson is a strain from the US

ViLco,

It's probably just a lazy USA thing not to bother mentioning the
name/variety. Maybe important between growers? I dunno.

Anyone?

Best,

Andy
